Lying to get a Bible

I'm blogging this for my dad's sake. When he was young, he and his brother went to church. The people at the church asked whose birthday it was. My dad said it was his. His brother said it was not. My dad asked,"When is my birthday?" His brother said," I do not know; but it is not today." The people at the church gave my dad the benefit of the doubt though it was not his birthday. He got a Bible. That taught him. =)

When I told that story several years ago I said, 'Now I do not believe in lying. It is wrong and there is no excuse. I will only point out my extreme young age, you see the date 1956, I was only 4 years old.' I was born in '47. - My dad said this to me in email.

About Me

I'm a woman who loves God a lot and wants to make the world a better place. I love my friends and family and continue to press on toward making the good things in my heart happen - I'd like to have made more progress. It is a daily thing. I love to live life and have fun in ways that add value to my life and others. IE Playing Rock Band, having deep conversations that add good value to people's lives, telling jokes and funny stories, boating, going to great concerts, traveling,reading, writing,visiting with young people-they have the coolest stories, going to live theater, mission trips, various Holy Spirit adventures, and more...
